Smile New Battery=New Car?

Well my battery kicked the bucket this weekend, it was under warranty so a new one was only 20 dollars, no big deal. But the change in the car was a huge deal. For starters my cel went off because the poor/weak/open circuit that was throwing the code aka the battery is now gone. Also my sub is alot quieter it used to shake the rear view mirror, now i got nothing. However this has happened once before after I reset the car and it went back after about 5 days so Im keeping my fingers crossed for the same result. Slight increase in the butt dyno but that could be in my head.

BUT THE MOST NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE WAS THE GAS PEDAL! That thing used to be pathetic i could blow on it and it would move. Now it is nice and firm. Is that supposed to happen?

just thought id share my story

could the sub thumping thing be because it reset your bass configurations +/- ???

that was what i thought at first and I changed all the settings back to where i normally have them and it was still weak. But since I posted this it has gotten louder, hopefully it will return to its normal level sometime soon
